Purchase options and add-ons

Andrew DePrisco and James B. Johnson's Choosing A Dog for Life is one of many books that showcases a variety of dog breeds in shopping catalogue format. The brief introduction essentially amounts to a plea to the reader to investigate breeds before taking the plunge and acquiring a new dog, lest the match be an unhappy one. Over 160 breeds are then presented in alphabetical order, each occupying an eye-catching, two-page spread. Several photos of each breed give the reader a good view of body type, facial expression, and often puppy appeal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it before getting a dog.
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2012
Verified Purchase
Pet owners should be responsible when deciding to get a dog, especially if it's their first. Knowing the characteristics of the particular breeds, EVEN WHEN GETTING MIXED BREEDS, is VERY important so you know whether you and they would be compatible. For instance, if you don't like diggers or high-strung dogs, don't get terriers. If you don't want droolers, don't get a St. Bernard or Bloodhound. Companion animals are family members and so much more than just a pet. Choose wisely.

That being said, this book is a must for first-time dog purchasers/adopters and for those wanting to try a different breed.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Dog Breed Book!!
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2004
This is a great dog breed book! Not only are the pictures wonderful (excellent speciments of each breed), but I love the information and history offered on each breed. A summary of the breed standard is included, as well as, temperment and level of activity, potential health problems, and growth information on each breed. I have looked at many breed books and this is my absolute favorite.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good info about breeds, lots of good pictures.
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2000
This book has alot of information about each breed but not alot of general dog information. Thats what I liked about it. It has alot of breeds listed, with 4 of 5 photos of each one. It describes the AKC standard, health problems, and characteristics of each breed. A great coffee table book for dog lovers.
